The English speaking anarchists of
Chicago have stopped their scnseless
drivel about the hideous tyranny of
capitalists long enough to mildly petit
ton the city government to promote
the personal cleanliness of Chicago's
population by establishing public swim
ming baths. There is no doubt that if
Chicago socialists would take good
wash in Lake Michigan and apply soa
vigoro sly their minds would be in a
more healtbful condition.

They tell story Of local newspaper
man that illustrates his presence Of mind
even under the most trying circumstances.
He was awakened In hotel one night By
the cry OF ''fire," and in one spring and
two movements was out OF bed and in the
hall, which was filed with smoke. Just
ahead OF him was flying figure clad in
white like himself, and running at a 2:1o
clip A turn in the long hall and two steps
leading TO a higher level brought the fig.
ure up. or rather down, and the same cause
precipitated the newspaper man against
her. "Lct's pray cried the affrighted
woman, as she clasped him by the arm.
'.No, let's rum" was his reply, and put
ting her once more in the right direction,
the lady was soon far ahead, though her
rescuer got out in plenty of time. The two
never saw each other again. but their first
meeting must have vividly impressed
itself upon the mind Of each.

That ballad quaint and gay.

Who loved and rode away.

On household tasks intent;
The while she sang her tender straina
or how he did relent,
And rode full many q weary mile
To gain his loves consent
But ah. although she sang OF love
Her voice was light and gay,
And we'll knew her maiden heart
Had never felt Loves sway,
And yet, explain il as you will,

But now I never stop TO hear
As pass by that way,
The girl who sang while of her work
That ballad quaint and gay;
Bec7use-She sings a sweeter song
